He talks with Meat Industry Association Chair Nathan Guy about the recent trade deal with the UAE, what it means for the NZ red meat sector and the proposed closure of the Smithfield plant in Timaru... He talks with Hakataramea Valley farmer Jess Turnbull about the Farmer Time in Schools virtual educational programme, what she teaches the students and how other farmers can get involved... And he catches up with Rob Auld from Auld Farm Distillery about its new single-grain oat whisky, the farm's 100th anniversary and the current farming conditions in Southland.
